i'm not in favor of the panama trade deal why? because panama is a giant tax haven. that's probably why mitt romney loves it. who does it help? not you. do you have a tax shelter in panama welcome unless you're a giant multimillion international corporation, i doubt it. he's not done yet. he'll talk about his tax plan. gee, i wonder who this helps. >> i'll bring down the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25%. and individual tax rate, 20% across the board. >> cenk: once again that would help the giant corporations and the really really rich. it would add $600 billion to the deficit. that is almost all going to the rich. i thought you were going to balance the budget, no you're increasing the budget. the corporate taxes in 2011 were at a 40-year low. they're at tax rate of 12.1%. how low can you make them? mitt romney will give it a shot. do you think that would help you? it's not going to help you. if that would help, it would have helped under bush. mitt romney's campaign is not designed to help you. it's designed to help the people who are funding mitt romney's campaig

with the bushes, there was one particular ride, i think it was in panama city, but when the bush boys got in the back of the president's limo and they were talking, and every time -- you can't be alone with jeb bush for five minutes where he doesn't bring up the greatest man he's ever known. and then he starts talking about his dad. they would veer him away from the screen. they wou they revere him when nobody is looking, and what better judgment of a man that what his kids have to say about him when nobody is looking. >> that's absolutely true. in fact, the grandchildren do as well, and what's really interesting is barbara bush says that the family, because of the political life, the family was drawn closer together. >> well, there are two things, joe. you're exactly right. one is he was -- president bush was known as half-half when he was a kid because he would always -- if he had a dessert, he would say have half with whoever he was with. and he always said his greatest achievement is his kids still come home. >> yeah. that's a big one. >> your piece says family matters, and that's
